The nice thing about the Yankees is that amazing talents seem to come along all the time. There will never be another A-Rod, but the Yankees won before he came, and they will win after he goes.
My bet is they sign Barry Bonds to DH. He’ll replace SOME of the offense of A-Rod for a year or so. That’ll leave Giambi actually in the field ... not good, but better than a hole at the 4th spot in the batting order.
Isn’t Abreu a free agent, too? They’ve been an offensive juggernaught for a few years now ... they’ll take a step back next year. If they lose Rodriguez, Abreu and Posada out of the middle of the order, Clemens and Pettitte at the top of the rotation, and Rivera out of the pen ... they’ll get destroyed by the Sox, and may lose to the Jays.
